Emperor Zong closed his eyes in despair, and after a while, he waved his hand: "Take him down and bury him."
Liu Jin looked at Emperor Zong, then at Quemei, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, what name do you want to be buried with?"
"Burn it according to the ceremony of a noble concubine." Emperor Zong said weakly.
Liu Jin opened his mouth, didn't dare to say anything, and immediately went down to give orders. Not long after, a few guards walked in and lifted the eyebrows down, waiting for Emperor Zong, Lou Qingwu and Feng Yege to be left in the bedroom again. When she was alone, Feng Yege stepped forward, her phoenix eyes showed no emotion, and her eyes fell on Emperor Zong with a bit of complexity: "Your Majesty, do you have something to say to Ye?"
Emperor Zong propped his forehead with his hands, covering his eyes so he couldn't see his expression: "Ye Ge, how long can I live?"
Feng Yege pursed her thin lips: "At most two months, at least... more than a month."
Emperor Zong trembled all over, and smiled bitterly: "Ye Ge, tell me, is this retribution?" Retribution for everything he did back then? Back then, in order to sit in this position, he stepped on countless bones to step on this golden palace, but so many years have passed. It wasn't until Bird Eyebrow appeared that he realized that those nightmares that he deliberately forgot and haunted him in midnight dreams never left.
Feng Yege fell silent, and after a while, he said softly: "Ye, don't dare to make a judgment."
Emperor Zong finally let go of his hand, looked at Feng Yege quietly, was silent for a while, and then said: "Among these princes, who do you think can take on the big responsibility after my death?"
Feng Yege squinted her eyes, lowered her eyes, and covered the flashing deepness in her eyes: "Prince Rui and the third prince are more outstanding, but these things, when Ye is away from Beijing for a long time, the emperor should see them more than Ye To be accurate." Feng Yege wondered why Emperor Zong suddenly thought of asking him these words? But Emperor Zong's mind was far more complicated than he imagined.
Emperor Zong didn't speak any more, he seemed to be thinking seriously, but he didn't seem to be.
After a while, he waved his hands to tell Feng Yege and Lou Qingwu to go back first, if he had something to do, someone would call him into the palace again.
Feng Yege didn't wait too long, and went out of the bedroom with Lou Qingwu. After going out, Emperor Zong called the prince and concubines who were guarding outside the palace into. Lou Qingwu glanced back, her eyes were a bit dark: "Senior Brother, Emperor Zong is really hopeless?"
"It's hopeless. His health has been bad all these years. It's just that he refuses to accept his old age and has taken some strange things. So even without the knife from Bird Eyebrow, he won't be able to hold on soon. But , Emperor Zong should not believe my words, so after we leave, he should be treated by the imperial doctor again." When he was in the position of Emperor Zong, he believed in no one but himself.
Lou Qingwu's eyes darkened a little: "Xia Houqing, do you really want to help him become the prince?"
Feng Yege shook his head: "Emperor Zong can't make a decision so easily." Lou Qingwu didn't say anything more after hearing this. Emperor Zong's thoughts were too heavy for them to see through. Feng Yege thought for a while, and apologized: "Qingwu, Quemei..."
Lou Qingwu knew what he wanted to say, and shook her head: "I knew this day would come from the moment Quemei entered the palace, it's just a matter of time. When I came back from rebirth, I met her, and she wanted to commit suicide at that time , and later met Qianmian, so I made a mask for her. In the past three years since she entered the palace, I thought she would look away, but I didn't expect... She still had the idea of dying with Emperor Zong." But so That's right, back then Emperor Zong wiped out hundreds of members of her family in order to keep his mouth shut, leaving her alone, she was too lonely.
Presumably, she also wanted to go down to find them.
At least she was sad. There are too many pitiful people in this world, but there are also too many hateful people.
Feng Yege embraced her shoulders, and patted her comfortingly: "She was smiling when she walked away. I think she is able to fulfill her wish, at least she is grateful to you."
Lou Qingwu rubbed her forehead lightly against his chest: "Senior brother, thank you." If she hadn't been able to tolerate her waywardness so much, she would think that she is still living in hatred, just like Quemei. She will never be happy in this life, but thanks to him, she was redeemed.
Feng Yege heard her words, raised her head, and gently pressed her forehead against hers: "There is no need to talk about this between us." He is her salvation, but she...isn't it his
After Feng Yege left, Emperor Zong called all the princes and concubines in, his chaotic eyes fell on them, and his brows were deeply furrowed: "My, the situation, I think you all understand it too." He spoke very slowly , giving people a feeling as if they are dying, weak, pale and old.
The concubines and the prince knelt on the ground, the empress and Concubine Ruan, who had not seen each other for a long time, were at the head, followed by Prince Rui Xia Hourui, and the third prince Xia Houqing.
Concubine Ruan Gui was reprimanded by Emperor Zong for crying too loudly at the beginning, this time she only dared to cry softly: "Your Majesty, don't say that, you will surely live a long and long life." On the dragon couch, no expression could be seen, something flashed in Emperor Zong's pupils, but no emotion could be seen deeply.
His hand patted Ruan Guifei's shoulder in vain: "With the words of Concubine Ai, I feel relieved."
The queen knelt there with her eyes downcast, her eye circles were red, and she was full of grief, but she still looked dignified and virtuous. Ever since Concubine Ruan Gui and the third prince were favored again, she has not been allowed to leave her palace and not to meet the prince. It is impossible to say that she has no anger or resentment in her heart, but Emperor Zong has become what he is today, she doesn't know what it is like in her heart now, she has all kinds of flavors, everything.
But at the same time, she is very clear that this is a critical moment, which is related to whether her emperor's son can inherit the great rule.
She lowered her eyes and knelt there silently, but the sadness in her expression came from her bones, causing Emperor Zong to look over inadvertently, and there were many incomprehensible things in his eyes.
Emperor Zong's gaze continued to drift away slowly, and finally fell on Xia Hourui and Xia Houqing: "I will not live long, I, myself, understand, but, I haven't chosen a prince yet, so in the next month, It depends on the performance of each emperor."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the princes to speak, he waved his hand and told them to retreat.
The princes hesitated for a moment, seeing that Emperor Zong was really tired, they didn't dare to say anything, and retreated one after another. After everyone left, the imperial doctors came in. Emperor Zong half leaned in front of the dragon couch and half squinted his eyes to look at them. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How long can I live?"
